Costa Mesa, CA-- A Pit bull service dog kicked out of a Wal-Mart store last year will be a welcome guest at the upcoming Pet Days slated for Saturday, Oct. 11 and Sunday, Oct. 12 at the Orange County Market Place, the weekend swap meet at the O. C. Fair and Event Center in Costa Mesa.
Chloe the Pit, a certified therapy dog and ambassador for the Pit bull breed, and her owner Gina Pettrow of Fountain Valley, were asked to leave a Wal-Mart store in February 2007 because of the breed and management's concern there were children in the store.
"Pit bulls are getting a bum deal and they deserve better. Pit bull overpopulation and the awful treatment these dogs are often subjected to is outrageous. Public education is essential. Without the support of the community and the insistence that Pit bulls are cared for the same way we expect people to care for other breeds, these dogs will never have a chance at a better life, "said Kathy Thorsell, Marketing Coordinator for the Animal Assistance League of Orange County and producer of Pet Days.
Wal-Mart eventually apologized in a letter to Pettrow after considerable media attention about the flap and included a box full of dog goodies for Chloe. As a result of the incident it became apparent more education is needed about the positive image and qualities of the Pit bull breed. Chloe's appearance during Pet Days will be all about that objective.
Chloe, now officially a certified service and therapy dog after completing the stringent training through the Orange County HUGS Service and Therapy Dog Group, and Pettrow will be at the swap meet event from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. both days.
The two day event, which runs 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days, will also include the Soccer Collies with shows from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday; Brutus, a Bull Mastiff therapy dog in Elvis jumpsuit from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. both days; cats and dogs available for adoption along with several nonprofit specialty rescue centers; training tips; ask the veterinarian booth; animal welfare and other subjects via guest speakers and demonstrations and pet related vendors.
With the exception of seeing eye, therapy and other service dogs, no personal pets are allowed. For more information on Pet Days contact the Animal Assistance League of Orange County by calling 714-893-4393 or visit
Pet Days and all related activities are included in swap meet admission, which is $2 for ages 13 and over and free for kids 12 and under. More information on the swap meet is available by calling 949-723-6616 or visiting the above listed website.

Classic cars have raced ahead in value over the past decade, with returns far outstripping those for other luxury asset classes such as wine, coins and stamps.
Collectable car prices rose 430 per cent in the 10 years to September 2013, beating gold coins, stamps, fine art and fine wine, according to Knight Frank's luxury investment index. That compares to 55 per cent for the FTSE 100 and a 273 per cent rise in returns over the decade for gold.
Andrew Shirley, editor of The Wealth Report, which produces the index, said the increase in values of luxury items has been driven by wealthy investors' move into alternative assets in recent years.
"According to the results of our attitudes survey of wealth advisers . . . a significant number of wealthy individuals plan to increase their spending on investments of passion this year," he said. "It is therefore not too surprising that the value of our luxury investment index has continued to climb as wealthy investors look for tangible assets that they can also enjoy."
However, he warned that although the index shows very strong overall growth, it would be wrong to assume that investing in any luxury collectable asset class is guaranteed to make investors money in the short term.
"The performance of a number of the asset classes in the index, including art and wine, is actually more volatile than the FTSE 100," he said. "It is also worth bearing in mind that collectors will need to be buying best-in-class assets to see the kind of growth represented by the index."
"Relatively few classic cars, for example, will have increased in value by 430 per cent over the past 10 years. Likewise stamps."
Overall, the Knight Frank Luxury Investment Index has grown by 7 per cent over the past 12 months. This matches the increase in the value of residential property in prime central London over the same period. The FTSE 100 index of UK listed equities performed better, though – rising by 12 per cent.
Over the past year classic cars as an investment came top of the index, returning 28 per cent. The value of fine wine also rose by 3 per cent over the past year, while collectable coins rose by 9 per cent.
Asset classes that performed badly over the past year include art, with values in this sector falling by 6 per cent. Although certain artists retain their cachet and are achieving record results at auction, Mr Shirley said prices reflect the fact that buyers are generally bidding more cautiously and selectively.
Vodafone's blockbuster deal - what it means for individual shareholders. Why there is less choice these days in self-invested pensions. And the unusual asset classes that have trounced shares, bonds and property
Greg Davies, head of behavioural and quantitative finance at Barclays Wealth, also warned investors to be careful when comparing the returns on these esoteric asset classes with those of more traditional assets. "It is difficult to compare the returns on these indices to those of bonds or equity returns because they don't tell the full picture. These indices do not tend to be investable as a whole, they only represent a small part of the market in that asset class."
He added that the returns on asset classes such as cars, stamps, coins or art, for example, don't account for transaction costs or insurance, which can be significant. "Once the extra costs are added, the returns on these investments tend to come down," he said.
Mr Davies agreed that the indices include only the very best examples, and for that reason may give the impression that the alternative asset classes are safer than they actually are.
"These indices are based on public auction houses' prices, and they tend only to accept the best items in these asset classes. This means the indices don't always give a true prediction of the likely returns."

A two-dimensional layers of metal (Me) nanocrystals embedded in SiO2 were produced by pulsed laser deposition of uniformly mixed Si:Me film followed by its furnace oxidation and rapid thermal annealing. The kinetics of the film oxidation and the structural properties of the prepared samples were investigated by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. The electrical properties of the selected SiO2:Me nanocomposite films were evaluated by measuring C-V and I-V characteristics on a metal-oxide-semiconductor stack. It is found that Me segregation induced by Si:Me mixture oxidation results in the formation of a high density of Me and silicide nanocrystals in thin film SiO2 matrix. Strong evidence of oxidation temperature as well as impurity type effect on the charge storage in crystalline Me-nanodot layer is demonstrated by the hysteresis behavior of the high-frequency C-V curves.
During the last decade, much attention has been focused on the investigation of semiconductor and metallic nanocrystals (NCs) or nanoclusters embedded in dielectric matrices. The interest is motivated by possible applications of such nanocomposite structures. Particularly, semiconductor or metal NCs embedded in SiO2 dielectric layer of a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor may replace SiNx floating gate in conventional Flash memory devices, allowing for thinner injection oxides, and subsequently, smaller operating voltages, longer retention time, and faster write/erase speeds [1-3]. The performance of such memory structure strongly depends on the characteristics of the NCs arrays, such as their size, shape, spatial distribution, electronic band alignment.
Several approaches have been recently tested for the formation of NCs in dielectric layers. Among those, self-assembling of NCs in dielectric layers fabricated by the low-energy ion implantation and different deposition techniques has been studied by several groups [4-7]. A strong memory effect in MOS devices using oxides with Si or Ge NCs was reported in [4,6]. However, the implantation of Ge at the silicon-tunnel oxide interface creates trap sites and results in the degradation of the device performance [4]. The growth technique using MBE deposition of 0.7-1 nm thick Ge layer followed by rapid thermal processing was implemented in [8,9]. An alternative method for Ge NCs production [10] consists of the following steps: low pressure chemical vapor deposition of thin Si-Ge layer, thermal wet or dry oxidation, and thermal treatment in an inert ambient (reduction). Recently, a method to form an ultrathin nanocomposite SiO2:NC-Me layers at room temperature by combining the deposition of Si:Me mixed layer on the pre-oxidized Si substrate and its further oxidation in the glow discharge oxygen plasma was proposed [11].
In this article, a similar approach was used to produce thin SiO2 layers with an embedded layer of metal NCs. Au and Pt were chosen as metal components in Si:Me mixtures since both metals are believed to catalyze Si oxidation thus reducing the processing temperature, while neither Au nor Pt form stable oxides. Both Pt and Au embedded as NCs in dielectric matrix are attractive materials in plasmonics [12]. In addition, both metals have much higher electron work functions compared to semiconductors, particularly, Ge, and it is interesting to investigate the effect of the NC work function on the electrical properties of the MOS stack with embedded NCs. As the first step, a thin Si:Me layer with the precisely pre-defined composition was grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. The oxidation of Si:Me mixture was expected to result in the segregation of the noble metal in NCs distributed in the SiO2 matrix. By means of analyzing the Si(Ox):Me elemental depth distributions as a function of the annealing temperature and/or time, we attempted to investigate the kinetics of the composite structure formation. This information was supplemented by microstructural transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis and further--by electrical measurements on metal/SiO2:Me-NC/Si capacitors.
N-type Si(001) wafers were used as substrates. The uniform SiO2 layer 6 nm in thickness (tunnel oxide) was first grown in a dry oxygen ambiance. An amorphous Si:Me (Me = Au, Pt) layer 20 nm in thickness was then deposited by PLD at room temperature. The computerized ultra-high vacuum (base pressure P = 10-6 Pa) home-made PLD setup employing YAG:Nd laser (λ = 1,064 μm) and operating in the Q-switched regime (τ = 15 ns) at the variable output energies E = 50-200 mJ and the repetition rates ν = 5-50 Hz was employed to ablate from the elemental Si and Me (Me = Au, Pt) targets. The pre-calculated composition of the Si:Me mixture necessary to form the desired nanocomposite structure was provided by choosing the exact ratio of Si vs. Me deposition pulses in a deposition cycle during the Si:Me layer growth. The sandwiched Si:Me/SiO2/Si samples were further thermally oxidized in dry oxygen ambient. To exclude the coalescence of the segregating metal NCs, the thermal budget should be minimized. Therefore, to determine the minimal temperatures to oxidize Si:Me mixtures at our conditions, the preliminary experiments were performed. It is worth noting that the presence of a noble metal in Si:Me mixture is found to significantly reduce the oxidation temperatures as compared to pure Si. Thus, the chosen oxidation conditions were T = 640-725°C for 60-540 min. Finally, the thermally oxidized structures were subjected to rapid thermal annealing in dry nitrogen ambient at T = 900°C for 30 s. The sequential processing steps are shown in Figure 1. A reference SiO2/Si sample with no metal NCs was prepared for comparison.
Figure 1. The proposed procedure of the MOS stack formation including SiO2 layers with the embedded metal NCs.
The composition of and the metal depth distribution in the samples were measured using Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) with a He+ beam at E = 1.5 MeV. The spectra were taken simultaneously at two different scattering angles, θ = 10° and θ = 75°, with the former geometry being used to calculate the integral metal concentration in Si:Me, while the latter one to observe possible changes in the metal distribution upon oxidation. The experimental spectra were analyzed using the RUMP software [13]. The structural quality and the phase composition were analyzed using the TEM in both plain-view and cross-sectional geometries using a Philips CM20 instrument operating at U = 200 kV. MOS capacitors with In electrodes were fabricated, and the high-frequency C-V measurements were carried out using a serial HP4156B instrument.
Results and discussion
The typical RBS spectra from the as-grown and thermally treated Si:Me/SiO2/Si samples are presented in Figure 2. The RBS spectra show that the thickness of as-deposited Si:Au layers is about 20 nm. The metal concentration in the deposited layers is in the range 2.5-4.5%. The shift of both Au and Pt peaks to the lower energies upon thermal oxidation evidencing the pile up of metal atoms at the SiO2/Si interface is clearly observed in RBS spectra. The observed evolution of Pt and Au concentration profiles indicates the complete rejection of Me atoms from the oxide during thermal oxidation of a-Si:Me layer. The detailed analysis of RBS data (Figure 2) reveals that Au and Pt segregation depends on the oxidation conditions. In particular, neither evaporation nor diffusion of Au or Pt in SiO2 layer takes place during thermal oxidation in dry O2. On the contrary, oxidation at higher temperatures results in a strong loss (about 30%) of Me from the SiO2 layer, apparently due to evaporation and partial diffusion into the Si substrate.

RBS spectra from as grown and thermally oxidized Si:Me/SiO2/Si samples: (a) RBS spectra (E = 1.5 MeV, θ = 75°) from Si:Pt/SiO2/Si samples thermally oxidized at T = 725°C for 60 min in O2 followed by thermal annealing in N2 at T = 900°C for 30 s. as compared with as-grown structure; (b) Au peak in RBS spectra evidences strong Au segregation during Si oxidation process at different temperatures.
The results of the plain-view TEM investigations (published elsewhere [14]) correlate well with the RBS data. Figure 3a clearly shows the well-separated clusters embedded in the SiO2 layer formed after thermal treatment. The average size and the areal density of the observed NCs were estimated to be from 10 to 20 nm and 2 × 1010 cm-2, respectively. To elucidate the structural properties of metal NCs, the HRTEM analysis was performed. The results for SiO2:NC-Pt are shown in Figure 3b. The bright-field TEM micrograph of the Si:Pt-alloyed sample oxidized at T = 640°C for 5 h reveals dark-gray clusters scattered on a light gray SiO2 background. Careful examination of the clusters structure performed using the direct resolution of crystallographic planes and selected area electron diffraction patterns analysis (not shown) evidences the formation of platinum monosilicide (PtSi) crystalline phase in NCs. In addition, unoxidized silicon islands were also identified. Similar results were also obtained for Si:Au samples although no evidence of Au silicide formation was found (not shown). A previous study [11] describing detailed in situ investigation by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of the Au chemical state evolution during the oxidation of the similarly produced Si:Au mixture indicated the formation of a metastable Au silicide during the room temperature deposition and its further decomposition to metallic Au upon oxidation.

The self-assembling phenomenon of the formation of metal and silicide NCs in SiO2 can be explained using two mechanisms. A solubility of impurities in SiO2 is quite low, and therefore the structures obtained after metal segregation and piling up between two SiO2 layers (tunnel oxide and SiO2 capping layer) were transformed into the supersaturated solution. It is well known that under the thermal treatment the decomposition of supersaturated solution takes place eventually resulting in the phase separation and the formation of the metal NCs in a dielectric (oxide) matrix. On the next stage, the Ostwald ripening of the formed NCs occurs. This implies the diffusion of metal atoms from the valley regions of the islands toward their respective centers forming spherical nanocrystals to achieve greater volume-to-surface ratio. In our model, the initial NCs are formed during the oxidation of the Si:Me layer. After the oxidation is completed, the sample is still kept at elevated temperature facilitating the coalescence of Me NCs.
The effect of the oxidation temperature as well as the type of the embedded Me on the efficiency of the charge storage was studied by the high-frequency C-V measurements. The hysteresis in C-V curves was found different for the structures containing Au and PtSi NCs (Figure 4). The maximal value of the flat-band voltage shift U = 1.8 V for the Vg sweep -5/+3 V was obtained for SiO2:NC-Au based structures prepared by dry oxidation. On the contrary, in the case of SiO2:NC-PtSi, the maximal flat-band voltage shift was U = 1.2 V. By increasing Vg sweep up to 5 V, a gradual increase of the flat-band voltage shift was achieved. Since high positive gate voltages shift C-V curves in the direction of the stored negative charges, it is concluded that the charge trapping occurs through the electron injection from the substrate into the oxide. No flat-band voltage shift was observed for the reference sample prepared with pure SiO2, oxidized at T = 850°C for 60 min in O2 ambient. It is therefore concluded that the effect of charge storage is related to the NCs.
Figure 4. High-frequency C-V curves measured from Si:Au and Si:Pt samples, oxidized at T = 640°C for 5 and 9 h in dry O2, respectively. A gate voltage sweep from inversion to accumulation and from accumulation to inversion is shown on the figure by arrows.
One of the major reasons for the loss of charge in the floating gate structures is the leakage current. The measured I-V curves (Figure 5) from Si:Au and Si:Pt samples oxidized in dry ambient reveal that the leakage current density can be reduced down to 10-8 A/cm2. The low leakage currents achieved are explained by the high quality of both tunneling and capping oxide formed by dry thermal process compared with the deposited oxides used in the alternative methods of MOS capacitor formation [15]. It is found that the oxidation temperature has also a strong effect on the leakage current, and therefore the oxidation conditions should be optimized for each type of embedded metal NCs.
Figure 5. Leakage current vs. gate voltage characteristics obtained from the oxidized Si:Au and Si:Pt samples at T = 640°C. The I-V curve from the reference sample of pure SiO2 is shown for comparison.
In this study, the authors have demonstrated the growth of thin SiO2 layers with embedded metal and metal silicide NCs by the combination of Si:Me mixture by PLD at room temperature and its thermal oxidation. By means of this fabrication technique, it is possible to produce a sheet of crystalline metal nanocrystals at any desirable depth in the oxide. The metal segregation process during thermal oxidation results in the formation of a high areal density of crystalline Au and PtSi dots 10-20 nm in diameter which are distributed in the silicon dioxide at a distance of 5-6 nm from the crystalline Si substrate. The charge storage effect is evident from C-V characteristics on MOS capacitors, and the results indicate the injection of the electrons from the substrate. The flat-band voltage shift of about 1.2-1.8 V for Vg sweeps of -5/+3 V is achieved. It is shown that the leakage current density depends mostly upon the oxidation conditions, and for both types of metal NCs (Au and PtSi), it was measured to be around 10-8 A/cm2. The reproducibility and the precision of the proposed fabrication technique (PLD and thermal treatment) to produce a 2 D array of well-separated nanocrystals in a SiO2 layer suggest that this method can be applied for the fabrication of functional MOS structures.

If you're looking for ways to get healthy this spring, consider this our gentle reminder to get back into bed. Sexuality Counselor Ian Kerner, Ph.D, pointed out a few ways that sex supports our health... at AOLhealth.com...
Look younger: Sex helps boost the production of the human growth hormone, says Kerner, which boosts muscle tone, thus taking a few years off.
Feel better: We don't need an expert to tell us this. Just think back to how happy you felt the last time you and your man had a great roll in the hay.
Stay slim: "On average, sex burns about five calories per minute, depending on your weight," Kerner says. Enjoy thirty minutes of morning sex and you've already burned 150 calories before getting out of bed.
Get well soon: Sex helps boost your immune system. Next time you have the sniffles, you know what to do.

I have beaten Poke'mon FR once and LG twice (not catching all 386 poke'mon), so I can help anyone. I am online at least once per day, so I could be helpful!
Anytime and Always,
in your opinion witch starter sould i pick
In my opinion choose Squirtle. For one, he can beat both fire and grass (if you teach him Ice Beam, which is a great idea). There are also not very many water type pokemon in the beginning of the game, so its a good idea to get one trained early.
Squirtle lacks power though.
Bulbasaur: Great in defence, once it reaches its last evolution it will be like a tank. Easy to train.
Squirtle: Mixure of defence, attack and speed. If you want a pokemon that can stand a few big attacks and still be able to deal out quick damage, Squirtle is for you.
Charmander: My favourite starter pokemon. Hard to train and you will spend ages getting it to high levels, but once you do, nothing will stand in your way. Attack and speed for this pokemon, you will be able to deal out big hits while being speedy enough to go first.
Baulbasaur: Can beat the first two gym leaders easy.
Squirtle: Beat the first gym easy, secound gym harder but not to difficult.
Charmander: First two gym leaders are near impossible.
Hope I helped.
I am still here, if anyone needs help?
Where can i find the special ticket to island 8 to catch Lugia/Ho_oh !!! plz?

One of the outstanding peculiarities of the Eocene faunas known from the Sespe deposits of California is the continued absence of any evidence of the Equidae. Aside from lack of representatives of this family, however, the Perissodactyla include members of the Rhinocerotoidea and Brontotheriidea. Two types have already been recorded.(1) It is the purpose of the present paper to draw attention to additional fossil material belonging to the Tapiroidea and Rhinocerotoidea.

Complex amplitude reconstruction and phase aberrations compensation in phase-shifting in-line image digital holographic microscopy
Chinese Optics Letters, Vol. 7, Issue 12, pp. 1076-1078 (2009)
Acrobat PDF (474 KB)
When an image digital holographic microscopy (DHM) layout is employed, the Fresnel integral cannot be used in separating the reconstructed image from its conjugate image and background. However, combining image plane DHM with the phase-shifting in-line technique, the complex amplitude of reconstructed image can be obtained without using Fresnel integral, moreover the approximate error of reconstruction calculation is easily eliminated and the signal-to-noise ratio of reconstructed image is significantly improved. Since a normal incidence plane wave is used as the reference wave, the difficulty and complexity of phase aberration and phase unwrapping of DHM are remarkably decreased.

Child Care:
Multiple Factors Could Have Contributed to the Recent Decline in the Number of Children Whose Families Receive Subsidies
GAO-10-344: Published: May 5, 2010. Publicly Released: May 5, 2010.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
As Congress considers reauthorization of the laws which provide funding for the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF), there is interest in understanding what accounts for recent trends in child care subsidy receipt among eligible families and what research says about subsidies' effects on parents' ability to obtain and maintain employment. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) administers CCDF, but states have flexibility in its implementation. As requested, GAO examined: (1) trends in federal estimates of the number and proportion of eligible children and families who receive child care subsidies, (2) factors that may affect trends in estimates of the number of children served, and (3) what is known about the extent to which access to subsidies supports low-income parents' employment. To address these issues, GAO reviewed recent federal estimates of the number and proportion of eligible children and families served; conducted a survey of state child care administrators in 50 states and the District of Columbia; interviewed HHS officials, state officials in four selected states, and researchers and experts in child care subsidies; and reviewed research on the relationship between subsidy receipt and employment outcomes. GAO is not making recommendations in this report. HHS generally agreed with the report and provided technical comments, which GAO incorporated as appropriate.
From 2006 to 2008, the estimated average monthly number of children served by CCDF declined by about 170,000 (10 percent), after remaining relatively stable for a number of years. However, state data vary, as 34 states reported decreases in the number served during this period, while 17 states reported increases. Along with a decline in the number served by CCDF, an estimate for a key performance measure also shows a decline in the proportion of eligible children whose families received subsidies funded by key federal programs from 2006 to 2007. Overall, estimates indicate that annually about one-third or fewer of eligible children received subsidies funded by CCDF and other federal programs between 2004 and 2007. Estimates occur at this level partly because many states cannot serve all eligible families with available resources and partly because eligible families do not always seek subsidies. HHS, state officials, and experts cited multiple factors that could have influenced the recent overall decline in children served by CCDF. These include state decisions about resource allocation, such as increasing provider payments, as reported in GAO's survey, or decreasing Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds transferred to CCDF, as shown by expenditure data. Also, changes in state-level requirements and the recession may have affected the availability of providers. Finally, economic factors can affect the demand for subsidies, and the recession may have affected parents' child care choices or their ability to meet work-related requirements. However, since 2006, some states took actions that could increase access to subsidies, such as increasing income eligibility limits or extending eligibility to unemployed parents. Research has linked access to child care subsidies to increases in the likelihood of low-income mothers' employment. Study results have varied in the extent to which subsidies affect employment, in part due to differences in data, scope, and methodology. Some research reviewed and experts interviewed indicated that the size of the effect on employment outcomes may vary based on other factors, such as child care options and employment flexibilities available to families. Experts also suggested that when child care prices increase, mothers may change their work hours or shift to lower-cost providers, for example, rather than exiting the labor force altogether.

BOSTON – The winner of the CBS reality show "Big Brother 9" faces sentencing this week on drug and tax charges.
Adam Jasinski is scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday in federal court.
Jasinski was arrested outside Boston in October 2009 and charged with attempting to sell 2,000 pills of oxycodone, the main active ingredient in OxyContin and other painkillers. He pleaded guilty in October to possession with attempt to distribute oxycodone and failure to file a tax return for 2008, the year he won the television show's $500,000 prize.
The series features contestants who live under constant surveillance and vote weekly to evict each other.
Jasinski faces a maximum 14 years on the drug charge and one year on the tax charge. His sentencing hearing was canceled last week because of a snowstorm that hit the Northeast.

Bean Counters
Gary Olson, professor of political science, made the best guess of the number of coffee beans in the jar at Reeves Library. He estimated 2,810 beans; the jar held 2,758.
Librarian Bonnie Falla came in second: 2,683. Blair Zuckman 07, with 2,860, was third.
The lowest guess was 1 and the highest 9,549. Then there was the creative person who estimated a lot.
Gary receives a gift basket from Green Mountain Coffee. Bonnie and Blair get a coffee mug and a week of free coffee. A lot gets a raspberry.
The coffeehouse now needs a name, and Linda is readying another contest for that purpose.

A walkway to the London 2012 Olympic Park will be lit-up by the footsteps of spectators including people enjoying stays at luxury suites in London.
Connecting West Ham Station to the Park, the walkway makes use of 12 energy harvesting tiles and over the course of the Olympics will receive 12 million steps to produce 72 million joules of energy. This is enough to power a small electric car for nearly 400 laps of the Olympic track or charge 10,000 mobiles for one hour.
The eco-friendly energy will light the walkway for eight hours at full power during the night and during the rest of the time it will be lit at half power.
David Stubbs, head of sustainability at the London Organising Committee, said: "We want people coming to the Games to be able to do their bit for the environment and this is a great example where, literally in a few steps, people can actively contribute towards making these truly sustainable Games."
The renewable technology was commissioned by the Olympic Delivery Authority and made by British-based renewable energy technology company Pavegen Systems Ltd.
Meanwhile, many of the team officials have started moving into the Olympic Village ahead of the arrival of the athletes on July 15th.
Olympic Village mayor Charles Allen said: "The arrival of team officials marks the beginning of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games for the village."
Over the course of the Games, a total of 2,818 apartments across 11 residential blocks will be occupied as competitors prepare to take part in the largest sporting event in the world.

Many people do not have the cash flow to stock up the way you do. The economy has really hurt the budget of the average family and they are no longer able to shop the way they used to (such as taking advantage of the sales and buying extra). Do you have any tips for us? I do use coupons but would like to take better advantage of my buying power. I just don't really know how.
I particularly liked this letter from a reader. It encompasses the way many people feel when they first start using coupons. It's a common misconception I spend a lot to stock up on quantities of the items that I buy each week. My weekly grocery bill for our family of five averages between $40 and $60 post-coupons. But for that money, I'm typically buying around $100 worth of groceries.
Supermarkets operate on a 12-week pricing cycle, so stocking up on the things we need when the prices of these items hit their low point during this period makes sense. When you know the items you buy are at their lowest prices just one time during that cycle, buying them only when the price hits that low saves us a lot of money, even without using coupons.
Let's take juice, for example. At my store, a bottle of grape juice can range in price from $1.99 to $3.99. Clearly, I want to buy the juice when it's at its low price. If my family drinks one bottle of grape juice a week, I'll need 12 bottles to get through the next 12-week cycle. While it's true the initial expense of buying that juice all at once requires more than one might choose to budget just for juice in one week, consider the savings in buying it at that low.

Perito Moreno Glacier
Patagonia, ArgentinaNicknamed the "White Giant," this 19-mile river of ice is one of few Patagonian glaciers still advancing. Moving outward by almost 7 feet a day, it towers above the surface of Lake Argentina by about 200 feet and covers 97 square miles. Though famed for its size, it's also known for occasionally rupturing and sending huge sheets of ice into the lake below. Getting a shot like this is a must, but be ready to shift to video at a moment's notice if you hear a rumbling sound.

My review star rating of 5 is for Parkers of Bolton and NOT the courier, YODEL. Parkers have been efficient, with very fast service. They are polite and helpful on the phone as I unfortunately had to speak to them regarding my sons Christmas present of a bike which had been damaged during delivery.

How to Remember Electrical Resistor Color Codes
Resistor color codes are something that every electronics hobbyist should remember. The old mnemonic was rather, well, disturbing, and a conscientious person would never recite it. Anyway, on with the better one! Write this down in a prominent place and you'll have it committed to permanent memory in no time!
1Here's one mnemonic "Bright Boys Rave Over Young Girls But Veto Getting Wed. Black, Brown, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet, Grey, White <=> 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.Ad
2Best method to memorize is - B.B. Roy of Great Britain Veto getting wed.
- Alternatively, most of the colors are those from the traditional rainbow. Black is 0 (as in 'nothing'), Brown is 1, then Red through Violet, and finally Gray and White are 8 and 9.
- In Russian language, you can use the following phrase: "Четыре коровы красят ржавый железный забор синтетической формулой, содержащей белок" - чёрный, коричневый, красный, рыжий, жёлтый, зелёный, синий, фиолетовый, серый, белый. By the way, the phrase is translated as "Four cows paint a rusty iron fence with synthetic formula containing protein".
3The multiplier band goes by the same code and can be read as "followed by N zeros", plus Gold for "divide by 10" and Silver for "divide by 100".
4Tolerances are something of a mess: Brown and Red are 1% and 2% (you usually spot them because they have an extra significant digit), Gold and Silver are 5% and 10%, and 20% doesn't even get a tolerance band (you will rarely, if ever, come across one of these).
5To read the whole thing, put the tolerance band at your right, and go like this: "green-brown-red-gold = 5-1-00-5% = 5.1K 5%". You'll get used soon enough, and a bit later you'll be spotting what you want at once. It's also easy to classify them by decade: red is Ks, orange is 10Ks ...AdAd
We could really use your help!

rate articles?
web analytics?
personal relationships?
- The same code is used for inductors and capacitors, only that the "units" are uH and pF. That is, orange-white-red-gold is 3.9 mH or 3.9 nF, 5%.

The Chamber Orchestra Of Philadelphia's Recent Success Stories
By Jim Cotter
After some uncertain times, the Philadelphia classical music scene is enjoying one of its brightest periods. While most of this is a reflection of the resurgence of The Philadelphia Orchestra, the ensemble that shares its Kimmel Center home is also on the up and up, as WRTI's Jim Cotter reports.
Seen by many as the smaller sibling of the "Fabulous Philadelphians," The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia has been quietly growing and expanding in ways that are causing similar groups around the country to sit up and take notice.

Kansas Health Insurance Marketplace
Financial Aid and Medicaid continued...
You also may be eligible for cost-sharing subsidies that will lower your costs when you get medical care. Cost-sharing subsidies are available only if you buy a silver-level plan.
Medicaid Expansion : Some states expanded Medicaid so more people can get health insurance coverage. Although Kansas did not, you may still qualify for some type of assistance even if your income is too low to qualify for a premium subsidy. In Kansas, Medicaid is called KanCare.
CHIP: The Children's Health Insurance Program, now also called KanCare, provides coverage for children of some families who have a low income but are not eligible for Medicaid.
Check with HealthCare.gov or kancare.ks.gov to see if you are eligible for these programs.
Available Resources
In addition to HealthCare.gov, there are several ways you can get help with your insurance decisions:
- Call Center: You can call the federal government's help line, 800-318-2596, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for information, help, and to buy insurance.
- Navigators and Certified Application Counselors: They can teach you about the Marketplace and guide you through your insurance decisions. Go to insureks.org to find in-person assistance.
- Local, State, and Federal Organizations: Many health and community organizations, public libraries, and hospitals are offering help. Find a list at insureks.org.
- Insurance Brokers and Agents: People in the insurance business who are specially trained also can help you buy insurance through the Marketplace, and they may have policies that are not offered on the Marketplace. You can only get tax credits or subsidies if you buy through the Marketplace, though. To find an agent or broker, go to insureks.org.
